For the week of April 3rd - 6th
It's hard to believe we are in the final countdown to the end of the school year. With just 2 months left to go, we still have a lot to accomplish. I am in the works of planning our end of the year field trip. I will need several parent volunteers to make this work as we are going to a science cooking school. :) As soon as I have more info, I will post a sign up sheet. We will be limited on space so it will be a first come, first serve basis.
Science Fair is only 4 weeks away. Projects are to be completed at home. It is part of your student's science grade. Packets on "How to do a Project" went home before spring break. If yours didn't make it, there is a link on my blog. :) I cannot wait to see what the students come up with.
